Important Update: Trust Wallet to Deprecate BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2/BEP8) Support

As BNB Chain prepares to sunset BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2/BEP8) by the end of 2024, Trust Wallet will soon end support for the BNB Beacon Chain and its associated BEP2/BEP8 tokens. This change affects both Trust Wallet mobile apps and the browser extension.

What This Means for Trust Wallet Users

Starting shortly, Trust Wallet mobile apps will no longer support swapping to and from BNB Beacon Chain. For the Trust Wallet browser extension, we will also remove the option to migrate from BNB Beacon Chain to BNB Smart Chain. Additionally, support for BEP2/BEP8 tokens will be deprecated across both platforms.

If you currently hold assets on the BNB Beacon Chain and find yourself unable to transfer them due to the network’s planned sunset, we have coordinated with the BNB Chain team to provide a dedicated solution available only on the Trust Wallet browser extension.

** Note:** Due to the sunset of the Beacon chain, your balance on Beacon Chain may also not be displayed correctly.
